Question

Otto used 5.5 cups of whole wheat flour and x cups of white flour in the recipe. What is the equation that can be used to find the value of y, the total amount of flour that Otto used in the recipe, and what are the constraints on the values of x and y? y=5.5x; x is any integer greater than or equal to 0, and y is an integer greater than or equal to 5. y=5.5x; x is any real number greater than or equal to 0, and y is any real number greater than or equal to 5.5. y=x+5.5; x is any integer greater than or equal to 0, and y is an integer greater than or equal to 5. y=x+5.5; x is any real number greater than or equal to 0, and y is any real number greater than or equal to 5.5.

Answer 1

This situation of the recipe can be represented as y=x+5.5 and it is expected that x is ≥ 0 and y is ≥ 5.5.

What is the equation for this situation?

It is known the total amount of flour (y) is equivalent to the total amount of whole wheat flour (5.5) added to the total white flour (x). Therefore, the equation is:

• y = x + 5.5

What are the possible values?

• x = It is expected x is equalthan 0 or greater to it since the minimum amount of white flour that can be added is 0.
• y = It is expected y is equal than 5.5 or greater to it since even if no white flour is added the minimum total is 5.5.
